RE:RE:RE:Unusual low volumeAgreed, blackout only applies to insiders, but if a large brokerage or brokerages were involved in an acquisition, spin out of Thrace (As Nozz often suggest but I don't entirely agree) or some other acretive activity they would be considered insiders as well and this would affect volume..
I admit, it's a stretch. VLE would not want to issue any more paper at this time. At $25.00/share, maybe :)
Good luck to longs,
